Protesters were assaulted by audience members at the Reform Party conference in Birmingham today.
The protesters could be heard raising the controversial £5 million “gift” to Nigel Farage, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny.
Reform Party leader Nigel Farage appeared to laugh off the incident, joking: “boring, boring” and adding “next year we should increase the ticket prices.”
